I would like to have a membership website and some of the downloadable products, which are managed by RokDownload, are for members only. How can I achieve that?
What you need to achieve this:
1. Membership Control version 4.0 - GBP 59.00 -- > Buy Now
2. RokDownload- Membership Control Addon -- Free
Membership Control verssion 4.0 can be downloaded from here: Download
RokDownload- Membership Control Addon can be downloaded from here: Download.
- After you install the Membership Control component by following this instruction, please install the RokDownload Addon by going to Joomla Backend --> Components --> Open Source MSC --> Addon Management --> Browse --> browse the "MSC_Addon/rokdownload.zip" in your RokDownload Addon Zip package.
- You will then see the following screen when you install it successfully
- After that, you will need to install the updater component. Please go to Joomla Backend --> Extensions --> Install / Uninstall --> Browse the Updater component (Patch Pack\Updater\com_updater_ddmmyy.zip) in your Membership Control zip pack.
- After installing the Updater component, please go to Joomla Backend --> Components --> Updater --> Browse the file "RokDownload_Update_Pack\phoca.zip" in your RokDownload Addon zip Package.
- You will see the following page, please select the package and click the upgrade button.
- Once installed successfully, please go to Components --> Open Source MSC --> Click the "Configuration" link of one of your membership, you will see the RokDownload Categories Management available for configurations:
- After clicking into the RokDownload Categories Management link, you will see all RokDownload categories which you have created in RokDownload. Please select the categories you would like to control and click the save button on your top right corner:
- Make sure that you have selected at least one member in the Configurations --> Joomla Access Control --> Members section.
- Let's go to the frontend and see how it works
- Now access to your login page by entering this link: www.yoursite.com/index.php?option=com_user&view=layout. Please login as a user that is not in the membership/group.In our case, we login as the "test" user.
- After logging into the website, please go to RokDownload from frontend.
- Try to click the file name listed under the categories:
- After you click the download link or the file name, you will be redirected to the Membership Subscription page:
- Now, in order let the user "test" to be able to download the files in RokDownload, please go to Membership Management --> Configurations --> Joomla Access Control --> Members Section, add the user "test" to the membership.
- Now the user will be able to download the file from RokDownload in the frontend.
That's it!
